Should more men be offered testosterone therapy?

We’ve heard about the importance of women’s HRT – but could men benefit from a boost of hormones too? This week, the Medical Minefield team explore the world of private testosterone clinics - where men go to get a boost of the sex hormone, said to rev up their sex drive, energy levels and even muscle mass. We hear from one testosterone evangelist - Mike Kocsis – who has been on it for 20 years and says it’s transformed his life. So why are top hormone experts dead against it – warning the treatment is putting young men at risk of infertility and heart attacks? NHS consultant endocrinologist Dr. Richard Quinton explains the dangers.
